The Pragmatist

In any given situation, the pragmatist knows what has to be done and does it, ruthlessly and efficiently. He takes only calculated risks, and is never foolhardy.

Best Suited For: Pragmatists are only suitable for neutral and evil characters. Good characters suffer from having to do the right thing; Pragmatists do the required thing. Suitable for Axe For Hire, Vermin Slayer, Sharpshooter, Trader, or Ghetto Fighter.

Combat Situations: He prefers to weigh the odds before committing to combat, considering weaknesses and opportunities that may be exploited to best advantage. Once engaged, he will fight to eliminate his opponents as quickly as possible, by any means, however ruthless or underhanded.

Role-playing Situations: A Pragmatist can be gruff and taciturn, or he may be more open, even happy and gregarious. In negotiation, he pushes for the best deal, but he also knows when he has achieved all he can.
